ADWMCES Chapter106

“I’m not kidding you. If there really is a sandstorm soon, your small body will be buried immediately. Stay in the house with me.”

 

Chu Fengqing looked out of the tightly sealed window and saw that it was pitch black outside even though it was daytime. The window blocked his view, and he couldn’t see anything clearly.

 

He pursed his lips, then turned his head to look at the tightly sealed door. His beautiful eyebrows slowly gathered together, and he reached out and pushed Ji Yujin, staring at him, and said, “You did it on purpose.”

 

Ji Yujin raised his eyebrows, hugged the other party’s waist, and refused to let go, and laughed. How could the meat in his mouth be spit out? He said, “How can you say it’s intentional? This sandstorm came about out of the blue, can I plot against God? Physician Chu, you think too highly of me.”

 

Chu Fengqing glanced at him and asked, “How do you explain the food and daily necessities all over the floor then?”

 

Originally, he just wanted to ride a camel in the desert and go back when it got dark. Unexpectedly, he was now trapped in a small hut in the desert. There was no human habitation within a ten-mile radius, and he had no idea who prepared these items either.

 

Ji Yujin pondered for a moment, then smiled and pecked Chu Fengqing on the lips, “Nothing can be hidden from my Physician Chu.”

 

He held the person in his arms, his hands were dishonest, and his lips were pressed against the snowy neck, unwilling to leave. “This was discovered when we were on a mission that year. Don’t underestimate its simplicity. We stayed here for half a month, and there were sandstorms from time to time, so we completely repaired this place. Now it is very stable.”

 

“If you want to see different geographical environments, you can’t just see them during the day. You can’t miss the night either. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. You may not be able to stand it outside, so this place is perfect.”

 

As he spoke, he ripped open the other party’s belt, and his teeth landed on Chu Fengqing’s collarbone, licking it gently. Chu Fengqing’s breathing changed slightly, and his drooping eyelashes trembled slightly.

 

He frowned and pushed Ji Yujin away. “That’s not how you look at it either…”

 

Ji Yujin pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his red lips curled up, “There’s nothing to see outside except sand. Why don’t you look at me? I’ll take off all my clothes and show you later.”

 

Chu Fengqing’s lips were red, and a thin layer of red appeared on the back of his snowy neck. “Have some shame.”

 

Ji Yujin: “What’s the point of having shame when you’re with your own wife? If I still need shame now, I will be a real eunuch.”

 

Chu Fengqing smiled and jokingly said, “Who said you aren’t?” Ji Yujin hooked his fox eyes and made Chu Fengqing regret saying this with his actions.

 

Chu Fengqing put his hands on Ji Yujin’s shoulders, and his eyes turned red.

 

Ji Yujin spoke softly without restraining himself and put his lips to his eyes, sucking his tears into his mouth.

 

Outside, the sky was filled with yellow sand, and there was no other sound except the sound of the wind. There was no one around for dozens of miles. This feeling was very special, as if… there were only the two of them in the world, and they were each other’s whole world.

 

When Chu Fengqing woke up again, it was already bright outside. He was a little dazed, not knowing whether he had slept through the night and it was already a new day or whether he had just dozed off for a while and the sandstorm had just passed, so the day lightened.

 

He propped himself up and sat up, the quilt slipped off his shoulders. He lowered his eyes and saw the marks all over his body. He was slightly stunned, and then his earlobes turned red. Not to mention that it was daytime, even if it was night… this was really too presumptuous.

 

His body was relatively dry, probably because Ji Yujin had cleaned it.

 

Before he could come to his senses, a hand behind him pulled him over without explanation, and he was forced to lie down again, with the quilt pulled up high. “Be good, it gets light early here. It’s only the fourth watch now, sleep a little longer.”

 

Ji Yujin’s voice was hoarse and low. He pulled him into his arms, resting his chin on his head. Both of them were naked, their skin touching each other. Chu Fengqing pursed his lips and moved his body away.

 

Ji Yujin suddenly bit his ear and said in a low voice, “You’re bothering me so early in the morning. I’m mainly worried that you won’t be able to handle it.”

 

Chu Fengqing: “……”

 

The next moment, his pupils trembled slightly, and there was something behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Ji Yujin, are you a beast?” Ji Yujin was not annoyed. There was no sleepiness in his fox eyes that had just opened. It was like magma flowing through, leaving a burning heat in his eyes. He smiled and covered their heads with the quilt and said with a smile, “Whether I am or not, it all depends on you.”

 

——

 

What desert at night? Chu Fengqing has lived here for a few days and has never seen it. Ji Yujin’s words are just lies. The two stood at the door. Ji Yujin was behind him, holding his waist with his hands and lazily resting his head on Chu Fengqing’s shoulder.

 

In the distance, the sunset glowed all over the sky, the setting sun melted into golden color, the yellow sand connected with the horizon, and it was hard to tell where the dividing line was, it just felt like the sky and the earth were all melted into one. Between the orange sky and the earth, the smoke from the cooking stove of this solitary house climbed straight up, rising to the top of the sky and slowly dissipating.

 

The two people stood in front of the lonely house and looked into the distance. The person behind him narrowed his eyes slightly and said something. The eyes of the person in front slightly curved because of his words. The next moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he cursed. The person behind accepted it happily, staring at him as if he couldn’t see enough. What was reflected in his eyes was never the sunset praised by the world in the distance. From beginning to end, there was only the neatly dressed, graceful, water and fairy-like person.

 

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people longer and longer, interweaving them together.

 

After staying here for a few days, the two planned to leave. Chu Fengqing was drowsy sitting on the camel, and he rarely lost his composure. It was not his fault. It was because some people could not control themselves once they started eating meat, and his sleep time was extremely shortened.

 

He had a veil covering his face. The wind was quite strong these days, it was fine inside the house, but as soon as he came out, sand would fly everywhere. Ji Yujin was afraid that he would inhale the sand, so he tied a veil around his face as soon as they left the house.

 

Ji Yujin held him and let him lean on him to prevent him from falling. Chu Fengqing was puzzled. It is obvious that they are both the same, and Ji Yujin is even more tired, so why is he still so energetic?

 

When they arrived at the next capital, it was already dark. Both the architecture and the people’s clothing here were very different from those in the capital. Ji Yujin and his partner attracted a lot of attention as they entered the city in Hanfu.

 

Ji Yujin was dressed in red. As soon as he made no expression, his perverse temperament came out. Only when he lowered his eyes and saw the person sleeping in his arms did his look soften a little.

 

Everyone took a quick glance and then looked away. This place was located on the border and was not peaceful, so everyone knew how to protect themselves best. The man in red looked like some kind of good man.

 

The two stopped at the door of an inn. Chu Fengqing might be really tired. When Ji Yujin carried him down, he just frowned slightly and quickly found a suitable position to fall asleep again.

 

Ji Yujin carried the person into the inn. There were several tables of merchants having meals in the inn. When they saw Ji Yujin and his companion, as well as the soft sword on his waist, they instantly became quiet.

 

Ji Yujin didn’t pay attention to them. He moved very gently, afraid of waking up the person in his arms. He lowered his voice and said, “Innkeeper, one guest room.”

 

The innkeeper glanced at the person in his arms, but he couldn’t see anything because that person was wearing a veil. However, his eyes were still very beautiful. He also lowered his voice and said in a strong Chinese accent, “Dear guest who came from afar, please come this way.”

 

As soon as they left, the room became noisy again, and several tables of people were still staring at the corner of the stairs where they disappeared.

 

Even when they entered the room, Ji Yujin still frowned. He doesn’t like those scrutinizing looks, let alone the gaze of Chu Fengqing.

 

However, their clothes were indeed out of place in this place. After Ji Yujin settled Chu Fengqing down, he went downstairs to find the innkeeper.

 

Innkeeper: “There is a clothing store in the west of the city, the quality is good.”

 

Ji Yujin: “Thank you.”

 

After asking, he went upstairs again, he did not go to the clothing store right away. He was worried about Chu Fengqing being alone here. This place was too chaotic, with many people from all trades.

 

Chu Fengqing slept till the next day. During that time, Ji Yujin wanted to wake him up to eat something, but seeing that he was sleeping so soundly, he was reluctant to do so, so he took off his outer robe, wiped his body, and then hugged him to sleep.

 

After a rare night’s sleep, Chu Fengqing felt much better the next day. Together with Ji Yujin, he ordered many local specialties in the inn. Everyone here is tall and strong, and because of the developed labor and animal husbandry, even the breakfast is mostly meat, and there is no light food.

 

Ji Yujin was worried that Chu Fengqing would not be able to adapt at first, but when he saw that he ate a lot, he felt relieved. He supported his chin and watched him eat. He had forgotten that Chu Fengqing was not a picky eater. As long as he was not given porridge, he would be fine, which was different from his noble appearance.

 

Chu Fengqing frowned: “Is it not to your liking? Why are you looking at me?”

 

Ji Yujin shook his head and said with a smile, “Let’s go out for a walk after the meal. The things sold in this market are strange and bizarre, many of which we have never seen before. I think you should be interested.”

 

“Alright.”

 

The two of them were extremely eye-catching wherever they went. But after a while, Chu Fengqing frowned uncomfortably. Ji Yujin noticed and said, “Our clothes are a bit conspicuous. When you enter a village, follow the local customs[mfn](idiom); do as the natives do[/mfn]. There’s a clothing store in front, wanna take a look?”

 

Chu Fengqing was stunned. “Are you serious?”

 

It’s no wonder he asked that. The people here are tough. Looking up, he saw that the clothes worn by the men were different from those of the Han people. The Han people were conservative, but most of the men here exposed their skin, and some were only wrapped with a few pieces of cloth. Sometimes when they passed by, Chu Fengqing looked straight ahead and didn’t dare to look sideways.

 

Seeing his somewhat shocked look, Ji Yujin couldn’t help but laugh, “Little old-fashioned boy, you think others are weird, but others also wonder why you are wrapped up so tightly.”

 

“Since we’re here, let’s go take a look.”

 

Chu Fengqing couldn’t persuade him, and he really didn’t like the strange looks from others, so he followed him anyway.

 

It was said to be a clothing store, but it is more like a jewelry store. It is filled with display cabinets of various sizes, mostly displaying gold jewelry, some delicate and some rough.

 

People here pay great attention to the matching of clothes and jewelry. Both men and women can wear jewelry, and everyone wears a few pieces more or less.

 

As expected, there are no two tightly wrapped men’s clothes in the clothing store.

 

Ji Yujin took a few glances and also wondered how these clothes could fit Chu Fengqing.

 

The woman’s clothes next to him were extremely gorgeous. Ji Yujin took a look at them. Chu Fengqing looked over at him instantly, and his eyes clearly said, “Don’t even think about it.”

 

Ji Yujin felt a little regretful, thinking about Chu Fengqing dressed as a woman back then… It was just because he was young and didn’t know how to cherish it.

 

The clothes here are made of gauze and are very flowing. The boss said that nobles like to wear gauze clothes, but gauze is expensive, so ordinary people still prefer to use cloth, or even worse, coarse linen.

 

The two looked for a long time and finally chose two sets of clothes. Ji Yujin’s clothes were still red, and there were no sleeves on the upper body of the clothes, revealing his arms with clear and delicate muscle texture. There was an arm ring on his arm, which was extremely masculine. The belt was a special metal ring, and the red gauze outside was extremely heavy. He wore red boots with golden patterns on his feet, which made him look a bit enchanting.

 

Chu Fengqing had never seen Ji Yujin dressed like this before and was stunned for a moment. Ji Yujin took advantage of the boss’s inattention to pull him into the fitting room and asked, “Does it look good?”

 

Chu Fengqing hesitated for a moment but still nodded. Ji Yujin was wearing a matching hair accessory on his head. A golden chain passed through his hair, and a pendant hung on his forehead. He looked exaggerated and flamboyant, with an indescribable exotic charm. Combined with his fox eyes, he really outshined everyone else in this city.

 

Ji Yujin raised his red lips and pecked him lightly on the lips, “Physician Chu is very honest today. I don’t even have a reason to bully you anymore.”

 

Chu Fengqing frowned. This person was really too bad.

 

As for Chu Fengqing’s clothes, after much searching, he chose the most conservative clothes in the store.

 

After the boss brought the clothes, Chu Fengqing looked up at Ji Yujin and said, “I have to change my clothes, why don’t you go out?”

 

Ji Yujin leaned back against the wall, very shamelessly, “I saw that this clothes was complicated, and I was afraid that you wouldn’t know how to wear it, so I will stay to help you. Look at your eyes, would I still eat you?”

 

Chu Fengqing didn’t say anything. Isn’t the answer obvious? Had he forgotten what he did yesterday?

 

Ji Yujin laughed in anger, “I’m not even a beast.”

 

Chu Fengqing glanced at him lightly, his eyes full of doubt.

 

But in the end Ji Yujin still stayed. It was because the clothes were extremely complicated and contained very fine fabric.

 

Ji Yujin personally took off his clothes and then helped him put on the complicated clothes one by one. Chu Fengqing’s eyes flickered slightly, and he always felt that the atmosphere was too sticky.

 

“Is it done?”

 

Chu Fengqing’s clothes were white, which was thought to be conservative and unobtrusive, but it depended on who wore it. The inside of the clothes was made of white cloth, while the outside was made of gauze. The white gauze was wrapped around his body layer by layer, with intricate golden patterns faintly visible. There was a golden chain as a belt around his waist. His features were originally indifferent, but now they seemed to have a hint of compassion.

 

The earrings were a bright blue-green color, and the hair accessory was a gold crown.

 

Even though the clothes were the most conservative, the arms were only partially covered by the gauze hanging outside, so it was still visible if one looked carefully.

 

If Ji Yujin’s clothes are bold and tough, then Chu Fengqing’s clothes are like a fairy.

 

Ji Yujin: “If I put another cinnabar on your forehead, you will look like the flying Bodhisattva carved on the wall outside.”

 

He frowned and said, “I regret it. You look so good in these clothes. I don’t even want to let others see you.”

 

Chu Fengqing looked at him helplessly.

 

The two walked out of the fitting room. Not to mention the shop owner’s inexperienced look, even the passersby outside stopped to look at them.

 

Ji Yujin was about to pay, but he caught a glimpse of a piece of jewelry in the cabinet. He pointed at it and said, “Boss, can you let me have a look at this?”

 

The boss explained, “This is a foot ornament, worn on the ankle. Please look carefully.”

 

At that time, there was something similar to a bracelet, but it was made into the shape of a snake, winding around and going upwards, and the head and tail were not welded together. It was very delicate and exuded a seductive charm.

 

“Pack this for me as well.”

 

“Alright.”

 

When the two were getting ready to go out, the boss even gave them two veils. He thought to himself, This is not about keeping a low profile ah, this is obviously to attract attention.

 

The gazes along the way were more intense than before, and several people came forward to ask for love directly, with straightforward and bold words.

 

Ji Yujin was relatively calm before, until a tall and handsome man said to Chu Fengqing, “Are you willing to be my partner? I have a herd of cattle and sheep and no wife at home, so I will definitely not let you down.”

 

Ji Yujin’s face turned dark instantly, and he laughed out of anger. He kissed Chu Fengqing directly in front of that man. That man was a little shocked but did not leave immediately.

 

Ji Yujin frowned, “Have you seen enough? Why don’t you get out of here?”

 

That man looked at him strangely. “Your relationship doesn’t necessarily mean he will be with you for the rest of his life.”

 

Then he turned to Chu Fengqing and said in not very fluent Chinese, “My name is Muqiqilier[mfn]Help, forgive me if the name was wrong, but how am I supposed to translate (木齐齐里尔) this name? I used the pinyin here[/mfn], and I live in the first house in the south of the city. If one day you get tired of him…”

 

Before he could finish his words, Ji Yujin took Chu Fengqing away without saying a word. If he still had his old temper, they would probably have started a fight already.

 

Chu Fengqing looked at Ji Yujin’s back, and his eyes slightly curved.

 

Ji Yujin didn’t want to walk around any longer, so he coaxed and tricked the person back to the inn. He wouldn’t be able to tolerate it if another blind person came up to him, but he didn’t want to ruin Chu Fengqing’s character either.

 

Back at the inn, Chu Fengqing wanted to change his clothes. He was still a little uncomfortable with it, but Ji Yujin stopped him. He took out the foot ornament and said, “Qing’er, how about trying this?”

 

Chu Fengqing didn’t want to try it, but seeing that Ji Yujin was very interested, he couldn’t bear to refuse.

 

He sat on the edge of the bed, and Ji Yujin took off his shoes and socks. The snake’s eyes were inlaid with green gems, and the snake was wrapped around his delicate ankle. When the snake was wrapped around the delicate ankle, the golden color against the snow-like skin added a bit of charm to Chu Fengqing, as if he fell from the Buddhist world to the demon realm.

 

Ji Yujin’s eyes slowly changed. He rubbed his ankle with his fingers, and with his red lips slightly curled, he smiled and said, “Qing’er, are you tired?”

 

Before Chu Fengqing could reply, the red lips had already touched his ankle.

 

When the innkeeper came to the second floor to check the room, he found that the flamboyant Han man was leaning against the wall outside the door in only a middle cloth.

 

“This is…?”

 

Ji Yujin looked up at the innkeeper, his face was full of satisfaction, and even his temper improved a bit. He was even interested in chatting with the innkeeper and said with a smile, “I was kicked out for annoying people.” As he spoke, he carved something on a piece of excellent jade. 

 

The innkeeper leaned over to take a look. “Is this the Chinese language?”

 

Ji Yujin nodded. Although the innkeeper couldn’t understand it, but he thought it was very well written.

 

He asked curiously, “What is writing there?”

 

Ji Yujin pondered for a moment and then read out the words word by word, “The two surnames united in marriage, we signed a contract in one hall, engaged us together, and shared the same title. Poems about Guanju, songs about Linzhi Tou, with the same hearts and minds, we live harmoniously as a family. Now we solemnly swear that only death will do us apart, let this certificate be our witness. Let this red lead carry my feelings for you, as we seal our marriage. Signed!”

 

His eyes flickered slightly, and his whole body softened. He smiled and said, “This is the marriage certificate.”

 

The innkeeper didn’t quite understand, as there was no such custom here. He couldn’t even understand the words, which were very literary. However, he could feel what was in this person’s eyes when he said these words.

 

It is not uncommon for men to be together, but since ancient times, there have been few lovers like them in the world, so it is very rare.

 

The boss wanted to say a few more words, but the door in front of him suddenly opened. The cold young master nodded to him slightly, then looked at another person and said, “Come in.”

 

That person smiled and said, “I knew that my Physician Chu was soft-hearted and couldn’t bear to see me suffer the cold outside.”

 

As he said that, he followed him in. The innkeeper’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the purple and blue marks on the young master’s ankles, which had no socks on. When he raised his eyes, he met Ji Yujin’s eyes. There was a hint of warning in his narrow eyes that seems as if he was smiling.

 

The innkeeper quickly withdrew his gaze and dared not look at the young master again. He felt that Ji Yujin was really too sensitive.

 

When he was leaving, he heard the flattering voice inside again. He seemed to be able to see that that person was a bit of a rogue. The innkeeper raised his head and looked outside the inn. The ancient city in the desert was very quiet at this moment, and the yellow sand flowed silently.

 

The moonlight is clear and bright, unchanged since ancient times.

 

The author has something to say:
